   My wife and I dined at Firkin on Yonge on Wed. Mar. 12, 2025. We had the Chicken Parmigiana and The English Dip with a side Caesar Salad. The food was very good. The decor and atmosphere was very good. The service was even better. Our server's name was Izzy. She was very attentive, friendly and always smiling. When we asked for another drink, more serviettes etc. she was right back to us with our request. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the Firkin on Yonge and if she's working.....ask for Izzy.

   Great location close to Mirvish theatre and Massey hall. Decent beer selection, and attentive and friendly service. Will keep this place top of mind anytime I take in a show in the area

   We got to the pub early and so it was quiet. Great location, close to the theatres/Massey Hall. Service was fine. Starters were good. Fish and Chips were substantial but did not really like the batter on the fish. Don't know if anyone else is finding this in bars/pubs but the drinks we ordered were not as advertised (e.g., a mojitio with no mint...) and were watery - it did not seen there was any alcohol in them ! This has happened in other places as well. Sign of the times?

   We really enjoyed the food, and we were well taken care of by the staff! It was our first time there, we will definitely return. A lot of appealing items on the menu!

   Horrible experience and they can’t blame it on being busy because it wasn’t. Now I know why there was an open reservation here. It was freezing cold in there and we were sitting upstairs, close to the kitchen. Terrible service - waited a really long time for our food to be delivered…more than 30 mins for 4 basic meals. And our server didn’t smile once. He did the absolute bare minimum and only because I’m not a complete jerk did I not leave him a 0% tip. Only bright spot was the greeter at the front who smiled, engaged and brought us upstairs.

   The food arrived cold- but plates hot. There was a big table and our server couldn’t keep up as they were understaffed. Food was blah but fine.

   Good local casual experience and pub fare right beside Massey Hall and across from the Eaton Centre. Great for a few drinks and apps before a show or concert event.

    Perfect location for a group of ladies to split some appetizers, pub grub and bevvies before catching a show at Mirvish. Menus were a bit sticky. When we first arrived, there seemed to be some issues with staffing, but the second person that took care of us was outstanding.(not sure what happened to the first one I think she went on break or left or something?) food was tasty and cooked as to what we would’ve expected.  not outstanding or anything but absolutely perfect pub experience. Would recommend.
